LOS ANGELES (Juli 25, 2017) – Vier-Teilung Weltmeister Nonito Donaire will join forces with Rufen Sie Star Sports as the international boxing star attempts to add another world championship to an already illustrious list of career accomplishments.

“Exploring what was out there in the new landscape of boxing was unnerving and exciting at the same time,” said Nonito Donaire, “I have known Richard for many years and have always respected what he has been able to do for the fighters he promotes. At this point in my career I want the biggest fights possible and Richard’s track record to deliver them speaks for itself. The thought of the mega-fights against the likes of Mares, Santa Cruz, Selby or Frampton gets my blood boiling. Das nächste Kapitel meiner Karriere beginnt jetzt und ich freue mich zu sagen, dass es bei Ringstar ist! Ich bin meinen Fans und meinem Team für ihre fortgesetzte Unterstützung dankbar!”

“Nonito ist eine der modernen Legenden unseres Sports,” sagte Richard Schaefer, Vorsitzender und CEO von Ringstar Sports. “Einer dieser seltenen Kämpfer, der immer liefert und immer weiß, wie man unterhält! Ich bin überzeugt, dass er wieder zu einem der besten Kämpfer der Welt werden wird. Daran besteht kein Zweifel! Ich möchte seiner Frau und seinem Manager danken, Rachel Donaire auch für das Vertrauen, das sie mir entgegenbringt. Wir können es kaum erwarten, loszulegen!”

Geboren auf den Philippinen und lebt in Kalifornien, Donaire kam herein 2007 Nach einer herausragenden Amateurkarriere, als er in der fünften Runde den zuvor ungeschlagenen Vic Darchinyan stoppte, um sich einen Weltmeistertitel im Fliegengewicht zu sichern. Donaire would defend the title with three more knockouts before he moved up to bantamweight and defeated unified champion Fernando Montiel in 2011 to becoming a two-division world champion.

Donaire’s next challenge came at super bantamweight as he made it 27 consecutive victories by knocking down and defeating Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. in 2012 to become a champion at 122-pounds. A banner year for Donaire continued with a title-unifying victory over Jeffrey Mathebula and knockouts over Jorge Arce and Toshiaki Nishioka. After the impressive run Donaire was recognized as the 2012 Fighter of the Year by the BWAA, ESPN and Ring Magazine.

A loss to Guillermo Rigondeaux ended a 30-fight win streak for Donaire, but he continued to add to his resume as he won a world title in a fourth weight class by winning a featherweight championship via technical decision over Simpiwe Vetyeka in 2014.

Another world title was added to Donaire’s ever-growing trophy case in 2015 when he defeated Cesar Juarez to capture a world title at super bantamweight. He defended the title successfully in the Philippines before losing a close decision to unbeaten Jessie Magdaleno last November.

Donaire, who is currently training in Japan, will be returning to the ring in September. Further details will be communicated as they become available
